(1) Late Birsa Munda (Born : 15 November 1875 in, Khunti, Jharkhand ; Died on 9 June 1900 in Ranchi, Jharkhand) – He was an Indian tribal freedom fighter, and folk hero who belonged to the Munda tribe. He spearheaded a tribal religious millenarian movement that arose in the Bengal Presidency (now Jharkhand) in the late 19th century, during the British Raj, thereby making him an important figure in the history of the Indian independence movement. The revolt mainly concentrated in the Munda belt of Khunti, Tamar, Sarwada and Bandgaon. Birsa received his education in Salga under the guidance of his teacher Jaipal Nag.Later, Birsa converted into a Christian to join the German Mission School but soon dropped out after finding out that Britishers were aiming to convert tribals to Christianity through education. After dropping out of school, Birsa Munda created a faith called ‘Birsait’. Members of the Munda community soon started joining the faith which in turn became a challenge for the British conversion activities. The cause of the Munda revolt was the ‘unfair land grabbing practices by colonial and local authorities that demolished the tribal conventional land system’. Birsa Munda started to advise tribal people to pursue their original traditional tribal religious system.Impressed by his teachings, he became a saintly figure to the tribal people and they sought his blessings. Birsa Munda’s slogan threatening the British Raj—Abua raj ete jana, maharani raj tundu jana (“Let the kingdom of the queen be ended and our kingdom be established”) — is still remembered in areas of Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. Around 7000 men and women assembled around Christmas of 1899, to herald the Ulgulaan (revolution) which soon spread to Khunti, Tamar, Basia, and Ranchi. The Anglican Mission at Murhu and the Roman Catholic Mission at Sarwada were the main targets. The Birsaits openly declared that the real enemies were the British and not Christian Mundas and called for a decisive war against the British. For two years, they attacked places loyal to the British. Birsa was arrested at Jamkopai forest in Chakradharpur on 3 February 1900. He died in jail on 9 June 1900.
